IN Regard to Schools.

The act of the last General Assembly
providing for the monthly payment Of
common school teachers illustrates how
very difficult it is to enact laws that will
give general satisfaction TO the people.
IL there was any one act OF the last ses-
sion which seemed more popular than all
Others, it was this law. The Three Forks
Enterprise, however, doubtless echoing
the sentiment Of the people in the noun
tain districts, says: %.
" IL may be an easy thing for the
wealthy counties of the State 10 borrow
money and pay in this way, but our
mountain counties cart afford it. We
contend, further, that it is not right for
the counties 10 pay the salaries OF the
County Superintendent. The school
fund is set apart for school purposes, and
ought to pay all the expenses of the
schools, II the 22c. ON the 800 worth
of taxable property devoted 10 school
purposes is not large enough, let the Leg
islatur. Increase il unCil il will create
fund adequate for the payment Of the
teachers, County Superintendent and all
other expenses"
The question involved in this protest
wiiln0 doubt be fully considered by the
next General Assembly. If it is possible
To amend the law, 80 as 10 secure to
teachers the advantages of the present
statute, and relieve the counties of
burden, the established policy of the
Legislature, in fostering and improving
our common school system, will certainly
provide a remedy for any real grievance.

The General Term of the Supreme Court
Confirms Sharp's Conviction.

The general term of the Supreme
Court of New York, Sept. GOTH,
handed down its decision that Jacob
Sharp had been rightly convicted of
bribery and refused to grant the pris-
oner new trial. Judge Barrett's
rulings are upheld in every point.
1t was o'clock when Judges Van
Brunt, Brady and Bartlett walked
slowly into the court room. Judge
Daniels alone was absent. The re-
converting Of the court was g.eat
surprise, not member Of the Dis
trict Attorneys office, nor any of
the defendants counsel being pres
ent. Judge Vanbrunt, as presiding
Justice, read the decision amid intense
silence.
This is the ultimatum of the SUI
preme Court, General Term--Jacob
Sharp must go to SingSing. for four
years and pay fine of $4,000 to the
state for bribery. The leading opin-
ion is written by Judge Daniels.
This is the first time for number
of years that four supreme judges
have sat together in general term.
On Thursday when counsel appear
in court for the final settlement OF
the orders on the decision, it will be
determined when Sharp will be taken
to Sing Sing, Counsel may file
notice Of appeal, which will take the
case to the Courts Of Appeals, the
final tribunal. This is hardly likely.
Whether Sharp had any idea of
getting out of the grasp the law, it is
impossible to say. He has not said
word of late. His lawyers, how
ever, were hopeful allalong, especial
ly Mr.. Stickney, who has been nearer
the client than any other of the coun-
set.
Mr.. Sharp received the news short
ly after noon through his son-in-law,
Selmes, who called about noon. He
did not know the facts for sure,
though he had moral conviction Of
the truth of the adverse decision.
Sharp's waiting wife retired from the
room to hide her tears and then set
herself the hard task Of breaking the
news. 1t was hoped that Mr.. Stick
ney wouldsoeme up, but it, was 4.30
when Sharp's grandson hurried into
the jail. He brought verification
Of the news and also the message that
Mr.. Sticl-ney was to mnch overcome
himself to care to venture near his
client. Sharp took the news hard,
but bore up wonderfully well. He
was visited during the evening by
DIR. Loomis, who remained with him
for over an hour.
District. Attorney MARITIME said
when he heard the decision, "Noth-
ing can save him, now."
"When willSharp be taken TO Sing
Sing" "Just as soon as the order
of the General. Term affirming his
conviction is signed and sent to this
office. 1t will then be entered and
served on the seriffr"
1t is probable that Sharp will be
taken up the river Friday morning.

That is to say, your lungs. Also
all your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger air-passages, but the thous-
ands oil little tubes and cavities lead

When these are clogged and chok-

there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do, they can
not do well.
Call it cold, cough, group, pneu

of the family of throat and nose and

Depew Interviewed

New YoKK, Sept. 81 Chauncey
M. Depew, President of the New
York Central Railroad arrived here
to day from Europe on the steamer
Elbe. The English people, he said
were very anxious to know what
America intended to do. They won
dered why Americans sympathized
with the Irish people in their struggle
for home rule, when they would not
allow the Southern States to separ-
ate from the Union. The home rule
question, he said, was the all import
ant topic in England. If Mr.. Glad
stone lives for few years, the home
rule cause was sure to win, as he had
the English masses won over to the
cause.
Mr.. Depew stated that Mr.. Blaine
was not working for the nomination
for the presidency. Talking of the
prospect of war between France
and Germany, Mr.. Depew said
that both countries were as fully
equipped for war as they could be,
and the fighing spirit had not only
seized the soldiers, but even the
masses of the people who were back
ing up the soldiers. The railroad
system in Europe, he said, was about
one hundred years behind America.
American manufactures were compel.
ing favorably with the home manu-
features in England and Germany.
